It’s Monday!
AAPI MONTH
(CNN Sunday) May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month -- a time to pay tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched our history! Take a moment to learn more about AAPI leaders who have transformed our country … FOR THE WORSE! (Obama wanted to Fundamentally Transform America… away from “Western Culture,” as JLP calls it in last week’s Biblical Q.)
BASED QUEEN PELOSI (NOT)
(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made an unannounced trip to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv (Kiev) on Saturday, becoming the most senior US official to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky since the war broke out more than two months ago.
NHTSA VS. FERGUSON REPORT, DWB // MINNESOTA POLICE ARE LIED ABOUT!
I read this Friday: (Local News) Mpls. Police, City Engage In 'Discriminatory, Race-Based Policing,' Human Rights Dept. Probe Finds – WCCO
WELL… for “context”... See NY Post article by John R. Lott, Jr., PhD on the Obama / Holder DOJ Ferguson Report from some years back (After Mike Brown-related riots)…
(NY Post) Ferguson fake-out: Justice Department's bogus report (John R. Lott Jr., March 9, 2015)
The report notes on Page 4: “Ferguson’s law-enforcement practices overwhelmingly impact African-Americans.
“Data collected by the Ferguson Police Department from 2012 to 2014 shows that African-Americans account for 85 percent of vehicle stops, 90 percent of citations, and 93 percent of arrests made by FPD officers, despite comprising only 67 percent of Ferguson’s population.”
Those statistics don’t prove racism, because blacks don’t commit traffic offenses at the same rate as other population groups.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics’ 2011 Police-Public Contact Survey indicates that, nationwide, blacks were 31 percent more likely than whites to be pulled over for a traffic stop.
Ferguson is a black-majority town. If its blacks were pulled over at the same rate as blacks nationally, they’d account for 87.5 percent of traffic stops.
In other words, the numbers actually suggest that Ferguson police may be slightly less likely to pull over black drivers than are their national counterparts. They certainly don’t show that Ferguson is a hotbed of racism.
Critics may assert that that “31 percent more likely” figure simply shows that racism is endemic to police forces nationwide.
Hmm: The survey also reveals that men are 42 percent more likely than women to be pulled over for traffic stops. Should we conclude that police are biased against men, or that men drive more recklessly?
In fact, blacks die in car accidents at a rate about twice their share of car owners.
A 2006 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found that black drivers who were killed in accidents have the highest rate of past convictions for speeding and for other moving violations. This suggests that there are a lot of unsafe black drivers, not racism. …
…for “direct evidence of racial bias,” the report describes seven emails from Ferguson police officers from 2008 to 2011 that Justice describes as offensive to blacks, women, Muslims, President Obama and his wife, and possibly people of mixed race.
But this begs some big questions: Did only one or two of the 53 officers send the emails? Did the objectionable emails end in 2011 because those officers no longer worked for the department or were told to stop?
(WSJ) Bret Stephens: Ferguson, Lies and Statistics - WSJ (ARCHIVE)
Justice Department report…. demolishes the lie that Brown was shot in the back, along with the lie that he was surrendering to Mr. Wilson, hands in the air, when he was shot. It confirms that Brown physically assaulted the officer, who had good grounds to fear for his life.
And it confirms that eyewitnesses either lied to investigators or refused to be interviewed out of fear of local vigilantes.
“Witness 109 claimed to have witnessed the shooting, stated that it was justified, and repeatedly refused to give formal statements to law enforcement for fear of reprisal should the Canfield Drive neighborhood find out that his account corroborated Wilson.”
Witness 113 “gave an account that generally corroborated Wilson, but only after she was confronted with statements she initially made in an effort to avoid neighborhood backlash. . . . She explained to the FBI that ‘You’ve gotta live the life to know it,’ and stated that she feared offering an account contrary to the narrative reported by the media that Brown held his hands up in surrender.”
Now there’s a story for the media: A community in which honest people can’t tell the truth for fear of running afoul local thugs enforcing “the narrative reported by the media.” Or is that more of a story about the media?
But let’s move to the other Ferguson fable, which is the Justice Department’s allegation, in an unfortunate second report, of systemic racism in the Ferguson police department.
For a flavor of this claim, it’s worth noting an incident recounted in the report, in which a Ferguson man was killed “after he had an ECW [Taser] deployed against him three times for allegedly running toward an officer swinging his fist.” The man “had been running naked through the streets and pounding on cars that morning while yelling ‘I am Jesus.’ ”
According to the Justice Department, this incident is an example of “overreliance on force when interacting with more vulnerable populations.”
…. the report’s abuse of statistics, notably of the fact that African-Americans are 67% of Ferguson’s population but are disproportionately arrested for crime.
Is this racism? The Missouri Statistical Analysis Center notes that in 2012 African-Americans, about 12% of the state’s population, constituted 65% of murder arrests and 62% of murder victims. To suggest that the glaring statistical disproportion between relative population size and murder rate is somehow a function of race would be erroneous and offensive. Yet tarring a police force as racist for far smaller statistical discrepancies is now one of the privileged “truths” of 21st century America.
FORGOT ABOUT MENTHOLS! (HAKE NEWS FRI…) OPPRESSIVE MAMA GOV’T
From Hake News Friday: (CNN) To reduce smoking, the FDA (Food and Drug Admin) proposed a ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars. Activists call it “historic” for "public health." Experts say tobacco co's will sue to stop this "tobacco-control."
"Through careful consideration of the scientific evidence and our authorities under the Tobacco Control Act, we've determined that these actions are appropriate for protection of the public health," FDA Commissioner Democrat "Dr." Robert Califf (a Obama holdover who stepped down under Trump) told a Senate subcommittee.
"The proposed product standards would…improve…health and reduce…mortality…of current smokers of menthol cigarettes or flavored cigars…. This is another important move forward in the agency's efforts to combat youth tobacco use and promote health equity."
"I want to underscore the momentous aspect of this. It will be a game-changer," said Erika Sward, assistant VP at American Lung Association. "The rules will have a tremendous impact on stopping kids from starting to use tobacco and critically save lives of people, particularly from diverse backgrounds."
About 18.6 million people smoke menthols in the U.S. — 36% of all smokers, per the FDA — and disproportionately "people of color."
About 30% of White smokers choose menthols, but they are the cigarette of choice for nearly 85% of smokers who are Black. About 40% of women smoke menthols, compared with 31% of men, according to the FDA.
LGBTQ people are also significantly more likely to smoke menthols (IT’S A GAY CIGARETTE!). A 2013 study that looked at data from the Obama CDC's 2009-2010 National Adult Tobacco survey found 36% of LGBTQ smokers chose menthols, compared with 29.3% of straight smokers. OH GOSH.
"Today marks the beginning of the end of menthol cigarettes -- a truly historic moment for public health. For decades, tobacco companies have intentionally pushed menthol cigarettes to hook young people on their deadly products and implemented racist marketing practices to intentionally target [b]lack Americans; the resulting health consequences have been devastating," said Dr. Julie Morita, executive vice president at the multibillion-dollar "health equity" group Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (related to Johnson & Johnson).
More than half of minors who smoke use menthols, per the CDC. The majority of adults started with menthols. Studies say kids who smoked menthols were more likely to become regular smokers.
CORRUPT DEMOCRAT HHS (Health and Human Services) Sec Xavier Becerra (of CA) called it "an important step to…health equity … reducing … health disparities."
After the 2009 Tobacco Control Act (UNDER OBAMA THE SMOKER) — the law banned flavored cigarettes, hence flavored cigars: menthol and "kid-friendly" fruit punch, strawberry and grape.
Flavored cigars and cigarillos, especially popular among minors, particularly [b]lack and Hispanic “kids” (or “teens”?), twice as likely to smoke them as [w]hite classmates.
The FDA noted nearly 74% of teens 12 to 17 (12 is not teen!) said they smoked cigars because of flavors they enjoyed.
In 2020, more young people said they tried a cigar every day than tried a cigarette. HUH?
Some activists, like black so-called Rev. Al Sharpton and the evil BLM-spinoff Mothers of the Movement, warned a ban on menthols could cause more violent encounters with police as they enforce the rule. HA! (Sharpton gets money from Reynolds American [tobacco company] — but “this is not about money,” Sharpton says.)
NOT READ: Corrupt NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus (both worse than the KKK) are for the ban. NAACP statement: "huge win for equity, justice, and public health concerns." SHADDAP!
The next step: a comment period from May 4 through July 5. The FDA will hold public listening sessions June 13 and 15.

[This blog post starts off with a recounting of a purported conversation between a teacher and a young “girl.” The guy says he reacted with faggy heartbreak and heartmend… talk about all feelings are lies! (h/t JLP!)]
One of our jobs as educators is to welcome students’ perspectives into the classroom. But we can also dismantle ways of thinking that reinforce the gender dichotomy and heteronormativity, and we must create safe spaces for children to explore their identities and empathize with those who are different from them.
In 2017, the CDC estimated that 8 percent of high school students identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ). Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, estimates that one in 10 educators in the United States identifies as LGBTQ. These data provide the moral imperative for showing pride in the classroom—for finding ways to include the LGBTQ community in our curriculum. The problem is that most teachers don’t know where to start, even in spaces where the LGBTQ community is already welcomed and visible.
